Some interesting photo’s from central Arizona of a carcass that some believe may be the legendary cryptid known as the Chupacabra.

The possible Arizona Chupacabra carcass was found by season resort employee Christopher J. Kubash according to the Cryptozoologynews report. According to the witness, he was out hiking and went a bit off trial and discovered the body inside one of the areas natural caves. He said the carcass of the yet unidentified creature seemed almost perfectly mummified all except for the tail which had decomposed. Kubash was able to snap some photographs of the creature which are now a hot topic of debate online.

According to the witness, the creature was approx 3-4 feet long and from the pictures, we can see it had abnormally long legs and short front arms. Kubash described the creatures head as “demon-like” and reported some tufts of spiky gray hairs on the back of the head and between the shoulders. Take a look at the Arizona Chupacabra pictures and you can decide for yourself whether or not this is actually the real deal. Of late Chupacabra sightings and reports have been few and far between. We don’t believe we have had any official 2017 Chupacabra sightings at least that we are aware of so far.

The stories and sightings of the legendary cryptid known as the chupacabra have been reported from all around the world over the last few years.

The first ever documented reports of the creature came from Puerto Rico in the 1990s where it was described as being a 4-5 foot tall bipedal monster with spikes down its back, long claws, and large eyes. Local reports claimed it was draining the blood from livestock which earned the creature its name chupacabra which is Spanish for goat sucker. The legend of the chupacabra would quickly spread and become the basis of countless theories as to whether or not this was some unknown creature, an alien being, or nothing more than an urban myth. Researcher Benjamin Radford went on a five-year investigation looking for the truth about this blood sucking monster as detailed in a great BBC article.

Mr. Radford got wind of the stories and reports of the creature and said he recognized a unique opportunity. He decided there were the makings of an unprecedented scientific investigation into this mysterious creature. Radford said:

“I was of course initially skeptical of the creature’s existence, At the same time, I was mindful that new animals have yet to be discovered. I didn’t want to just debunk or dismiss it. If the chupacabra is real, I wanted to find it.”

So Radford set out in search of the chupacabra and he started by finding the first person to ever report a sighting of the beast. A resident of a small town in east Puerto Rico named Madelyne Tolentino said she spotted the creature out of her window in 1995. After her chupacabra sighting was made public stories and more reported sightings began to pop up first around the island and then the rest of Latin America according to Radford. The creature was linked in the media to reports of livestock found drained of blood everywhere including some southern US states. It quickly went viral and the stories began to flourish online attracting conspiracy theorists, UFO enthusiasts, and the Cryptozoology community.

Unlike many other mysterious creatures like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster the chupacabra isn’t entirely based on random sightings and grainy footage said, Radford. There are bothbodies of dead livestock that the creature reportedly attacked and even actual specimens believed to be the creature itself. “When you have a body, everything changes,” he explains. “You have DNA samples, you have bone samples, you have morphology.” So he incorporated what he called “investigative skepticism”, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses approaching this all with an open mind.

In the early 2000s, chupacabra reports especially in the US and some other countries started to change Radford says and a new chupacabra arrived on the scene. It shared some of the traits of the original creature and earlier sightings but became much less alien like often being described as a dog like animal often hairless. This is when bodies believed to the creature started to pop up. So he began to take a look at the alleged chupacabra bodies which turned up mostly in the south-western US states like Texas. But he found that DNA test of many of these bodies turned out to prove that they were nothing more than dogs, raccoons, and coyotes. Radford explained, “The reason these animals get identified as chupacabras is because they’ve lost their hair owing to sarcoptic mange.”

But that didn’t explain the reports of dead livestock that were drained of blood and often said to have had puncture marks on their necks. But these attacks can often be attributed to ordinary predators such as canids Radford claims. These attacks are often misidentified because of a lack of knowledge of how real blood-feeding animals behave. According to Bill Schutt of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, US, a creature the size of a dog would starve to death quickly on a blood meal because it lacks essential components such as fat. He also noted “When an animal dies, the heart and blood pressure stop, The blood seeps to the lowest part of the body, and it coagulates and thickens. It’s called lividity, and it gives the illusion that they’ve been drained of blood.”

But many believers find plenty to be skeptical of in these reports and point to various aspects of the chupacabra which don’t exactly conform to these natural phenomena. Many of the recent chupacabra sightings from places like the US, Russia, and New Mexico among others offer plenty for skeptics to grasp on to and are often explained away as simple misidentifications. The lack of any real concrete chupacabra evidence proving the creatures existence hasn’t and likely won’t stop the legend from growing and believers from searching. Perhaps those like Mr. Radford are right and this creature is nothing more than a legend but the fact is the world can be a very mysterious place with new twist and turns around every corner. The story in its entirety from BBC located here.

The remains of a strange looking mutant type creature were found in the Carpathian Mountains recently. The hideous creature is yet unidentified and the remains have sparked up the theory that it may be the legendary cryptid known as the Chupacabra.

According to the report, the creature doesn’t conform or look like any known animals in the region. The strange creature seems to have oval shaped eyes along with multiple rows of teeth and a long tail. It seems like a strange place to find the remains of a Chupacabra, but reports of Chupacabra sightings and encounters have expanded to multiple countries over the last few years.

A local news agency covered the discovery of the mysterious remains and noted that experts are struggling to make any kind of identification of the remains. A Ukrainian wildlife specialist was noted as saying the animal found does not fit the description of any known species. There are plenty of other theories as to what it may be including some type of hybrid animal that somehow got away from a Soviet plant in the area believed to be conducting tests on animals relating to biological weapons. Check out the possible Chupacabra photos and see if you believe this is indeed the legendary cryptid and a real Carpathian Mountain Chupacabra!

A Texas landscaper believes he has captured via a trap the legendary Chupacabra in Rockdale.

He described the mysterious creature as having traits which seem like a cross between a raccoon and an elephant. There have been many Chupacabra sightings in Texas in the last few years and multiple animals captured during that time have been linked to being the legendary cryptid. This Rockdale Chupacabra does have some strange features and looks quite interesting.

Whether or not the creatures being reported as Chupacabra in Texas and other parts of America are the same as the original first sighted in Puerto Rico is hotly debated. Many believe the animals being called Chupacabra in the US are not the same mysterious alien like creature from Latin America. Instead many believe its often simply misidentified diseased animals or perhaps a hybrid of an already known species.

Here is the 2015 Texas Chupacabra video so you can have a look at the creature yourself and decide if you believe this is actually a captured goat sucker or not. This is one of the first 2015 Chupacabra sightings or reports and there is no surprise it comes out of Texas where so many sightings have been reported over last couple of years.

Chupacabra is thought by many to be a creature that has existed for many years but in fact it only goes back to 1995 according to Radford. At least that is the first time there was a reported sightings of it by a woman in Puerto Rico. An interview was conducted with the woman by Radford in which he says prior to the sightings report she admitted to seeing the movie “Species” in which he believes may have influenced the report in some way.

Recent Chupacabra sightings and reports from places like Texas are considered to be the “new version” of the creature. There have not only been reports of sightings but also bodies which are believed to be that of the mythical cryptid. So far Radford says when DNA testing has been completed these bodies have all proved to be known animals like raccoon’s, coyotes, or dogs.

Although he makes some very valid points and there has yet to be any solid evidence of the existence of the creature many continue the search for the Chupacabra and fully believe. Believers point to the fact that the Texas Chupacabra along with others sighted in U.S. seems to be a different creature all together then the legendary cryptid of legend in Puerto Rico and common mis-identifications continue.
